Liverpool's Kazimier venue sits close to the heart of the city's music scene.
Began as an arts project, the venue's eclectic booking policy has led to a series of memorable shows from an enormous cross-section of artists.
Sadly, the Kazimier is now set to close. The area around the building is being re-developed, meaning that the venue will shutter on January 1st 2016.
A statement from the owners of Kazimier reads:
"After discussions with Elliot Group, the developer of Wolstenholme Square, we would like to make it public today that The Kazimier Club will be closing its doors as a venue for the last time on New Years Day 2016. This gives us nine months of events to celebrate the life of the venue and provide it with a fitting end. We have been offered a new site within their new development plans – talks are ongoing. The Garden will not be affected."
The statement continues: "We could never have envisioned the warmth of feeling The Kazimier Club has created since opening its doors 7 years ago, nor could we have envisioned it surviving for as long as it has, but true to its original ethos we believe it needs to finish on a high, in the same bricks and mortar as its birth."
"As this chapter draws to a close, we want to make it clear that this is the end of a building – the original artistic core and the wider Kazimier team are moving forwards with a variety of new projects in various new spaces."
